UNT beat Rice, would have lost to us and UTSA: 1-2
We would have beaten Rice and UNT, lost to UTSA: 2-1
UTSA would have lost to Rice and beaten us and UNT: 2-1
Rice would have lost to us and UNT, beaten UTSA: 1-2

So you go to highest winning percentage within division: Tulane 5-1, UTSA 5-1

Then the records against divisional opponents in descending order of finish: Tulane would take this based on beating both Rice and UNT.

I THINK this is how it works now. But I'm starting to confuse myself. Maybe the league will issue a press release tonight on scenarios. Wishful thinking

Two-team or multiple team tie for divisional champion
1. Highest regular season winning percentage based on overall Conference USA play.
2. If tied, head to head between tied teams.
3. If still tied, highest winning percentage within division.
4. If still tied, compare records against divisional opponents in descending order of finish.
5. If still tied, compare records with common cross-divisional opponents.
6. If still tied, compare records against cross-divisional opponents in descending order of
finish.
7. If still tied, team with highest BCS ranking.
8. If still tied, the representative will be the team that has not participated in the championship
game most recently.9. If at any point the tie is broken in a multiple team tie, the remaining teams will begin the
process again at #2.

Based on your scenario above, a four team tie at 6-2 in the division results in UTSA winning the division. We go back to #2, and UTSA will have beaten us. So, we lose out on a chance to play for the conference championship due to losing a game we only gave up 10 points in. Tulane luck continues to shine through.
